Newbie garlic grower

14 years ago

Hi all,

I planted a bunch of garlic cloves last fall and am anxiously awaiting harvest time! Today I noticed that a few of the plants sent up shoots that look like they might flower. Nothing I've read mentions this as a possibility. All the leaves are still green so I know it's not time to harvest yet.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Search "garlic scapes".... including recipes for them.

Sounds like garlic scapes on hardneck garlic. Cut them off a few inches above the leaves, this usually will promote bigger bulbs.
